I want to overclock my gpu radeon r5 m430 on laptop.. just want to ask how much overclock would be safe..while I have a cooling pad as well. Btw I have very less knowledge of overclocking..
 
Given that it's a laptop with very specific power and cooling designs, I would say no overclocking would be safe.

Solution
absolutely agree with Wolf. You will get no benefit from trying. If it was a high end GPU then maybe you could get 5-10% increase in FPS. For a laptop 'entry level' GPU, there is just no point.

What you should consider is buying a better laptop with a better GPU. Or go desktop and get something that will actually power games, the way you may want to play them.
